There is nothing quite like snuggling under a blanket, sipping on some hot chocolate and reading children's book with your little ones. This time of year there are so many wonderful books that fill us with hope, joy, and peace and we really need that after the kind of year we have had. I love having the chance to highlight the beauty and the wonders of each season to my children. Below you will find some of my boys Christmas favorites as well as new releases in 2020 that I am almost positive will make our new favorite list.
